5 Best Natural Ingredients for Dry Skin (+ How to Use Them)

Dry skin isn’t just uncomfortable; it can lead to flaking, dullness, and early signs of aging. If you're tired of temporary fixes, it might be time to turn to natural skincare ingredients that actually work.

Unlike synthetic formulas, plant-based skincare taps into centuries of wisdom and is now backed by modern science. In this blog, we’ll cover 5 proven ingredients to hydrate, repair, and calm dry skin and how you can include them easily in your skincare routine.

What are the best natural ingredients for dry skin?

The top natural ingredients for dry skin include jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, argan oil, rose powder, and orange peel powder. These plant-based actives are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids that hydrate, heal, and protect your skin’s natural barrier.

Jojoba Oil – Nature’s Skin Balancer

Found in: Citrus Glow Elixir
This golden oil mimics your skin’s natural sebum, meaning it absorbs quickly and locks in moisture without making you greasy. It’s ideal for people dealing with flaking or irritation.

Clinical Backing: According to a 2012 study (Journal of Ethnopharmacology), jojoba oil improves skin elasticity and reduces water loss, key for dry, aging skin. 

Sweet Almond Oil – Soothing & Vitamin-Rich

Found in: Rose Elixir
Sweet almond oil is packed with vitamin E, vitamin A, and zinc, making it a fantastic moisturiser for dry, sensitive skin. It helps reduce inflammation and restore softness.

Evidence: A clinical review in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice (2010) found it improves overall skin tone and soothes dermatitis.

Rose Powder – Gentle Exfoliation + Calm Hydration

Found in: Rose Elixir
Rose powder doesn’t just smell amazing. It gently exfoliates while delivering hydration and calming inflammation. Great for dry, dull, or uneven skin tones.

Science Says: Phytotherapy Research (2011) confirms that rose extract reduces redness and promotes healthy skin regeneration.

Bonus: It’s packed with natural antioxidants, which help your skin fight environmental damage.

Orange Peel Powder – Brightening & Hydrating Powerhouse

Found in: Citrus Glow Elixir
Orange peel powder is a natural source of vitamin C, which boosts collagen production and skin radiance. It helps with both hydration and pigmentation, perfect for dry skin that looks tired.

Study Highlight: The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology states that topical vitamin C improves hydration, texture, and elasticity with continued use.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: Which oil is best for dry skin on the face?

Jojoba and argan oils are considered the best for dry facial skin as they mimic sebum and repair the skin barrier without clogging pores.

Q2: Can I use rose powder daily?

Yes. Rose powder is gentle enough for daily use, especially when blended into facial oils like Armony’s Rose Elixir.

Q3: How do I know if my skin is dry or dehydrated?

Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. Look for signs like flaking (dry) or tightness (dehydrated). Armony's elixirs address both.

Q4: Are plant-based skincare ingredients effective?

Yes. Many natural ingredients like jojoba, argan, and vitamin C have scientific studies backing their effectiveness, especially for hydration and barrier repair.
